- the latest triple band mobile phone GSM/DCS/PCS which also includes bluetooth standard and FM radio reception, is implemented with three separate chipsets, one for each standard as described in the RFMD UMTS/DCS/GSM chipset document for their RF51176 receiver, for example.
- the receiver comprises:

- FIG. 10 shows a GSM signal recovered at the output of the receiver of FIG. 1 .
- the present invention relates to a receiver REC for processing a received signal.
- Said receiver REC is used in particular in communication systems and more particularly in a user equipment such as a mobile phone.
- the receiver comprises a reception chain RX_CHAIN allowing multimode reception, i.e. reception of signals coming from a UMTS base station or a GSM base station for example, and in particular in compressed mode operation. In a compressed mode operation, the receiver does not have to “listen” (i.e. synchronize, demodulate and downconvert) simultaneously to two different signals of two different modes GSM and UMTS for example.
- Such a receiver REC is illustrated in FIG. 1 .
- the receiver REC comprises:
- the channel filtering section CH_SEC is illustrated in FIG. 2 .
- the channel filtering section CH_SEC further comprises an adder ADD for adding all received signals SEQ from the amplifier-mixer blocks and output a result directed on the first rejection means HPF 1 .
- the spreading section SPREAD_SEC is illustrated in FIG. 3 .
- the spreading section SPREAD_SEC further comprises further rejection means LPF 3 for suppressing the adjacent carrier frequencies of a received signal SEQ, said further means being a low-pass filter.
- the baseband chip BB is illustrated in FIG. 4 .
- the despreading means DSPR comprise:
- the baseband chip BB_INT further comprises:
- a GSM signal a UMTS signal and a Bluetooth signal will be taken as examples.
- a signal SEQ When receiving a signal SEQ from a base station via the antenna of the User Equipment, i.e. the mobile phone, said signal is received at a certain radio carrier frequency, and with a 3 dB bandwidth of 270 kHz for the GSM standard, or with a 3 dB bandwidth of around 5 MHz for the UMTS standard.
- the signal SEQ is first processed in the mobile phone via the receiver REC. More particularly, in said receiver REC, there is a need to translate this radio frequency to the baseband frequency (0 Hz) in order to be able to demodulate the signal so that it can be treated by some other components of the mobile phone further on, such as the loudspeakers.
- a GSM signal is illustrated in FIG. 5 in the frequency domain.
- Said signal SEQ is centered on the GSM carrier center frequency of F 0 .
- the center frequency F 1 of such an adjacent carrier frequency is also illustrated.
- the difference ⁇ F between the 2 centers P 0 and F 1 is within the GSM frequency band (900 MHz band for example).
- the receiver REC processes a received signal SEQ as follows.
- the receiver REC is multimode.
- Said amplifier LNA allows a decrease of the noise of the corresponding received signal SEQ within the receiver REC.
- a first step 1) if the received signal SEQ is not already spread, for example a GSM or Bluetooth received signal, spreading of the carrier frequency spectrum of said received signal SEQ with a corresponding spreading sequence PN is achieved by the spreading section SPREAD_SEC and the channel filtering section CH_SEC.
- This spreading consists in expanding the bandwidth of the carrier frequency of the signal SEQ by multiplying the data bits of said signal SEQ by a spread spectrum LO.
- Spreading a continuous-wave local oscillator LO via an analog multiplier M 0 with the corresponding spreading sequence PN as shown in FIG. 3 generates the associated spread-spectrum local oscillator LO.
- the spectrum of a PN sequence is infinite and has a cut-off frequency of 3,84 MHz for the GSM standard and of 1 MHz for the Bluetooth standard.
- the local oscillator are spread only in the case of receiving narrowband carriers.
- a 2-wideband CDMA carrier i.e. a UMTS received signal is simpler since the carrier is already a spread spectrum signal. No spreading is achieved for such a signal as can be seen in FIG. 3 and the local oscillator LO 2 is a simple sine wave, as used in a conventional RF receiver chain (no multiplier M 0 is associated to the local oscillator LO 2 ).
- a sequence generator PN_SEQGEN generates the corresponding spreading sequence PN at a frequency FN of 3.84 MChip/sec via a clock CHIP-RATE-CLK for any modes except the UMTS one. Said clock permits to have an integer multiple of the desired frequency FN.
- sequence generators PN_SEQ_GEN oversample its output signal to 4, which has the effect of having a frequency of 15.36 MHz.
- the series of multiplexers in the spreading means SPREAD_SEC direct the right spreading sequence PN on the channel section CH_SEC and on the baseband chip BB_INT.
- a spreading sequence PN can be a Gold or Kasami code family well known to those skilled in the art or any other type, such as Walsh codes.
- the different spreading sequences PN associated to the different received signals of the different targeted modes are orthogonal.
- the radio frequency RF chip comprises further rejection means LPF 3 which are a low pass filter with a roll-off factor ⁇ of 0.22, which is set at the output of the set of the sequence generator PN_SEQ_GEN.
- This filter LPF 3 permits to suppress the adjacent carrier frequencies of a received signal SEQ, and especially those, which are far from the wanted carrier frequency F 0 .
- Such received signal SEQ is then now exhibiting a root raised cosine RRC spectral occupancy of 3 dB bandwidth equal to 2.3 MHz as shown in FIG. 6 for any mode except for the UMTS one.
- the occupied bandwidth is identical to that of a FDD-WCDMA carrier (UMTS signal).
- the spread signal SEQ of any mode occupies the bandwidth of the spreading sequence PN of 3.84 Mchip/s in the frequency domain.
- a spread GSM signal can be seen on the FIG. 8 .
- the signal SEQ is now exhibiting a spectral occupancy of a typical square wave signal clocked at 3.84 MHz, i.e. sin(x)/x amplitude envelope, with zero crossing at N*3.84 MHz, N being an integer.
- the main carrier frequency F 0 has been down-converted to baseband, i.e. centered around 0 Hz.
- mixers M 1 & M 2 one performs simultaneous spreading of the received signal SEQ via the multiplication by the PN spreading sequence, except for a UMTS signal, and a down-conversion for all the modes to baseband via the multiplication of a spread-spectrum local oscillator LO or a normal-spectrum local oscillator LO 2 for the UMTS mode.
- the received signal SEQ is split into 2 components I and Q, well known to the person skilled in the art, via the two quadrature mixers M 1 and M 2 , and that all the following steps are done on the 2 components in parallel. But for the sake of simplification, the term signal SEQ will be used instead of I and Q components.
- This SAW filter cannot be integrated in the RF chip.
- DC rejection is performed as follows.
- the receiver according to the invention saves costs and complexity by ensuring only one channel filtering section CH_SEC is reused to receive any mobile telecommunication standards, as opposed to having several receive chains in parallel.
- a second step 2 Before rejection of DC offset, in a second step 2), there is a reduction of the noise factor for each component I&Q of a signal SEQ via a fixed gain amplifier AGCF.
- Said gain amplifier AGCF permits to adapt the impedances between the multipliers M 1 &M 2 and the following adders ADD 1 &ADD 2 .
- a summing of all the spread received signal is performed via the adders ADD 1 &ADD 2 .
- the first adder ADD 1 sums all the I components of all the received signals SEQ together
- the second adder ADD 2 sums all the Q components of all the received signals SEQ together.
- the adders ADD 1 &ADD 2 have the same function as a multiplexer that directs the IS and QS components on the following stages LPF 1 -AGC and HPF 1 .
- a fourth step 4 rejection of the DC offset that remains on said spread carrier frequency spectrums is achieved via a simple DC compensation loop which behaves like a second order high pass filter of programmable high pass cut-off frequency.
- This high pass filters HPF 1 (one for each component IS and QS of a signal SEQS) are cascaded with channel filters LPF 1 , which in this application are used solely to remove any spurs or far adjacent carrier frequencies which would be present despite the use of the sharp low-pass filter LPF 3 .
- the channel filters LPF 1 can be a 5 th order Legendre low-pass filter and have a 3 dB cut-off frequency of 2.2 MHz.
- DC offset has two main origins.
- the first one is the self-mixing between the local oscillator LO and self-mixing of RF carrier frequency resulting from either LO or RF leakage at the front-end: DC is generated by the mixing of LO with itself, and the RF signal with itself. This is due to the limited amount of isolation between the LO and RF port inherent in an RF IC.
- the second one is due to second-order intermodulation performance of the receiver, which generates undesirable spectral components at baseband and a strong DC component. This is due in particular to the mixers of the receiver, which are not linear and which introduce input intersection point of 2 nd order known as IIP 2 phenomenon.
- FIG. 9 The new spectrum of a signal SEQ in any mode after DC offset rejection is illustrated in FIG. 9 . As can be seen, the DC offset has been filtered. The low frequency cut-off is now of 20 kHz, whereas the high frequency cut-off is of 2.25 MHz.
- both the low frequency cut-off and the high frequency cut-off are adjustable by programming.
- the resulting 3 dB bandwidth can vary from 1.9 to 2.2 MHz depending on the cut-off frequency of the analog filters HPF 1 implemented in the RF chip.
- this DC offset rejection has the advantage to be easy to implement. No complex components are needed. Moreover, only one DC compensation loop is needed for all the targeted loop, contrary to the state of the art, where there is a need of as many DC compensation loops as there are targeted modes.
- the spreading section SPREAD_SEC has the advantage to allow a good reconstruction of the received signal after DC offset rejection, contrary to a usual DC offset loop compensation.
- a DC offset loop compensation a simple filter with a resistance and a capacitor
- a fifth step 5 once the DC offset has been rejected via HPF 1 means, ADC sampling is performed.
- the I and Q-components of a spread signal SEQ require an adequate analog-to-digital converter ADC to sample the 2.2 MHz wide (3 dB bandwidth) analog signal SEQ in any mode. Sampling is performed with a 4 ⁇ chip rate clock.
- a sixth step 6 after ADC sampling, there is a despreading of the spread signals SEQ in order to recover the initial received signals SEQ.
- This despreading is achieved in the baseband chip BB_INT of FIG. 4 by means of the despreading means DSPR.
- the spread section SPREAD_SEC as described above can send the despreading sequence PN used. Since the incoming signal is no longer a binary stream, but an analog waveform, this sequence PN must be acquired by the baseband chip BB_INT via an additional analog-to-digital converter ADC_PN.
- the PN code used for spreading within the RF chip can be filtered with a low-pass filter stage identical to that used in the channel filtering section.
- the despreading process consists in a measure of similarity between the spread signal SEQ and the despreading sequence PN.
- the correlator of the despreading means DSPR permits such a measure. This measure is performed by multiplying the signal and the sequence and summing (integration) the results over a defined time window, here over a bit period. The summing is done after a data decision on the multiplication results leading to a value of, for example, ⁇ 1, +1.
- despreading sequence PN is split and applied to one multiplier for each I&Q components of the signal SEQ, as shown in FIG. 4 .
- time propagation of the spread signal SEQ when it is transmitted from the spreading section to the despreading section said time propagation usually varying from one RF chip to a Baseband chip, depending on the components used between those two parts, especially depending on the low-pass filters.
- a synchronization between the despreading sequence PN and the spread signal SEQ via synchronization means SYNC is performed.
- the synchronization means SYNC comprise a digital delay line DELAY producing a sliding clock S_CLK at 15,36 MHz, and a threshold value TH.
- the despreading sequence PN is fed through the digital delay line DELAY clocked at 4*the chip rate via the clock S_CLK, which results in a 1 ⁇ 4 chip delay resolution.
- the despreading sequence PN can then be shifted in 1 ⁇ 4 chip steps.
- the shifting, i.e. the despreading sequence PN phase is incremented by 1 ⁇ 4 chip, is applied until the despreading sequence PN is synchronized or time-aligned or in phase with the spread signal SEQ, i.e. an optimum correlation peak is obtained.
- the maximum number of shifts is equal to the length LGH of the despreading sequence PN.
- the correlation process is performed via the integration and dump means I&D to reconstruct the received signal SEQ in baseband.
- the sequence PN is shifted from 1 ⁇ 4 chip and the correlation process described above is performed again and so on until an optimum peak is obtained.
- the despreading sequence PN is then fed through the matching filter IIR, as shown in FIG. 4 .
- the despreading sequence PN suffers exactly the same amount of amplitude and phase distortion as the spread signal SEQ, which is necessary to have a good matching of the spread signal and the despreading sequence.
- the correlation product is optimal and ensures an optimal signal-to-noise ratio SNR.
- the synchronization described above has the advantage of having a well-known time propagation or delay of the spread signal SEQ and is unlikely to vary in time since the signal path consists of electrical transmission lines through a cascade of AGC amplifiers and low-pass filters in the RF chip and Baseband chip. Therefore, the architecture of the receiver according to the invention as described above, is obviously advantageous compared to a solution where the spreading section would be in the base station and the despreading section in the mobile phone.
- the first one is a digital despreading within the baseband chip BB_INT as stated above and the second one is an analog despreading in the RF chip.
- the rejection of the adjacent carrier frequencies of a signal SEQ is done via the integration and dump means I&D, and the despreading means must comprise a gain amplifier at the output of the filter IIR in order to adjust the amplitude of the despreading sequence PN with the power of the signal received from the mixers M 1 and M 2 .
- the despreading means must comprise a gain amplifier at the output of the filter IIR in order to adjust the amplitude of the despreading sequence PN with the power of the signal received from the mixers M 1 and M 2 .
- a seventh step 7 after the correlation process, further rejection is achieved via the channel coefficient bank FIR associated to each targeted mode for rejecting adjacent carrier frequencies that could remain on the spectrum of the despread signal SEQ and which are close to the carrier frequency F 0 .
- a series of multiplexers applies the right coefficient to the associated low-pass filter BB_LPF.
- the coefficient is the cut-off frequency of 130 kHz
- the coefficient is the cut-off frequency of 300 kHz
- the result of the despreading is that the bandwidth of a received signal SEQ has been compressed from 3.84 Mchip/sec to 135 kHz for a GSM signal. Hence, after the correlation process, the initial received signal SEQ is recovered as shown in FIG. 0 for a GSM signal.
- the resulting I&Q components can then be passed over to the rest of the receiver chain RX_CHAIN to achieve in particular:
- the receiver according to the invention has the advantage of resolving the problems of DC offset loop compensation on narrowband signals by using techniques used for wideband signals leading to a simple solution with low power consumption.
- the receiver according to the invention minimizes the duplication of RF blocks and allows multimode reception to be integrated into a single chip with no complex components.
- Said hardware or software items can be implemented in several manners, such as by means of wired electronic circuits or by means of an integrated circuit that is suitably programmed, respectively.
